First off it's not dumb trying to get involved in a sport. (I am watching playoff hockey and don't know half the things the annoucers are saying.)
And for a complete answer for your question:
In baseball statistics, a run batted in (RBI) is given to a batter for each run scored as the result of a batter's plate appearance.
There are certain exceptions: a player does not receive an RBI if he hits into a double play and a run scores, if a run is scored on a wild pitch or passed ball or as the result of certain errors, or if the pitcher balks. A player does receive an RBI if he is walked or hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. He will also receive an RBI if a runner scores from his sacrifice fly or sacrifice bunt.

batter got 1 hit for the 2 at-bats that he took. It's also a term used for stolen bases or runners thrown out by the catcher. And, others as well.

You're not dumb. You're not yet informed, but you've just started learning. You've made a good choice.
RBI is Run(s) Batted In
I'm giving you links to some very good and informative sites that will help you to learn some of the terminology and rules of the game. If there's anything else that you don't understand, ask. No one is born knowing everything.

Runs Batted In - If there's a runner on base and the batter makes a base hit, he gets credited with an RBI if the runner scores.

Runs Batted In. It means a player who was at bat did something that caused a run to score for his team.
